What is Multiple Intelligence (MI)?

Every person has preferred ways to work, learn and understand

Theory of multiple intelligences was developed in 1983 by Howard Gardner

The average person has the potential for all intelligences to varying degrees

Each intelligence can be measured individually, but most real-world applications consist of several intelligences at once

Why MI?

A snapshot of the student’s intelligences at this point in time

Uses a broader definition of intelligence that allows more individuals to find their strengths

Traditional I.Q. tests measure only logical and linguistic intelligence

Does not focus on a grade or score

Validates what educators already know – not all students learn the same way

Compatible with other methodologies and philosophies already in use

eg, whole language, cooperative learning, Montessori, etc.
